The woman is wearing a hand towel on her head, holding a cane in her right hand, and touching the hind leg of the cow with her left hand. Early blooming plum trees are visible in the background. The shrine's guardian deity, the cow was regarded as a messenger of Sugawara-no-Michizane. This may have been taken by the British photographer H. G.

              Rokumichijizo Statues,Hakone

              Rokumichijizo Statues,Hakone

              This is 3.2m magaibotoke (the largest in Kanto region during the Kamakura Period) carved into over seven meter high pyrozene andesite rock for jizo worship during Middle Ages. Although there is only one jizo here, this is called Rokudo (Six Way) Jizo because this is one of the group of stone buddhas around Shojingaike Pond which was regarded as the crossroad of Rokudo (lit. Six Road: Buddhist terminology meaning transmigration in the six paths of life). As there is no shack-like cover over the jizo, this photo was taken after 1878.==Date:unknown, Place:Hakone, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number98‐27‐0]
